Description
Getting There
Drive the dirt road opposite the Superbowl campground. From here there are 2 approaches.
2WD/South Face approach:
Drive 0.5 miles and park at the large pullout a few hundred feet before the road gets steep (not after, like it says in Creek Freak). Backtrack a little to a large cairn and a nice trail leading to a wash. Three-quarters of a mile of mostly flat walking takes you to a steep hike up the talus. About 45 minutes hiking.
4WD/North Face approach:
Continue driving over the steep rocky section that, as of October 2021, requires high clearance with 4WD very helpful. Continue for 1.5 miles of easier driving, making a right at a fork after 1 mile. About 20 minutes hiking from here.
